Hi,

 

I'm using a feature reader to read a bunch of CSV's with changing column and data row numbers. I first extract the row numbers with a text file reader en feed these values into a feature reader. Like so:

 

feature reader setup

When running the workspace it looks like FME interprets my expression as a text:

feature reader error

Using FME 2020.1 here. Does anyone know what is wrong? The feature reader only allows for arithmetic expressions so no option to enter text in the "Data Start Line" field

Hi @fdw​ ,

 

can you please provide a sample data?


It works when you change the formula to @Evaluate(@Value(text_line_number)+3) but I expected FME to do that for me since I used an Arithmetic Editor.

 

Perhaps a small bug

Sounds like it. I'll check it out and file an issue with our developers.
